Dead.Net

Official Site of the Grateful Dead

Is there a place online or on dead.net with Dick's Picks ratings or ratings of the fan-favorite or 'top' Grateful Dead live releases?

Is there an archival space that would have recordings from those early incarnations of the band, or a more appropriate place to ask this question ? The Music Minister at my church is looking to do something in April using music from the band, including those formative years, if possible, and I am trying to help....

What is Dave LaMouix email address, the fellow who puts out the Daves picks.

check out sugarmeg.net or Archives.com

If the Betty's have been returned to the vault, does anyone know if they will include previously uncirculated soundboard recordings, or has everything already been transferred and circulated before? I would love to hear soundboard recordings of Shea's Buffalo Theater 1-20-79, 2-6-79 Tulsa (no recording currently circulates), and just for curiosity's sake the notorious next night in Carbondale...

Is anyone able to post in the DaP 9 thread? I hope I didn't blow it up. I just tried to post an html link to one of the old TS entries...now it doesn't work for me anymore!

Why did they kill that thread? It was the most buzzing place on this site. Please bring it back.

Cosmic - my guess is that someone leaked the news :-)

...I was there so I can tell you what happened. Jake R posted a link to the cover of DaP10. A couple few minutes later, I posted congrats and an html link to the Taper's Section entry of 12/08/08 Thelma - that's when the problems began. The html entry was not posted, and the DaP 9 thread exploded. Where's marye when you need her!?! Sorry, folks. I'm sure all will be ameliorated soon. BTW, the cover for DaP 10 looks great!P.S. I also stated my suspicion that the member formerly known as skeetermcskeets (you know who you are) is the mole!

Thanks for that ... v.interesting!

Will folks start commenting on Dave's pick... soon enough?

looking through the forums for new activity is enough to maker yer head spin...we need to create a new thread or invade an old one!

I'm with you, the use of just one single forum for discussion is BORING. That's why I try to post in other forums, too!

I find the forum (navigating) a bit confusing... But I like it!

Why are folks from Poland joining dead.net as new users this AM (with weird anime avatars and weird usernames). They only stick around for a minute or 2. They're not posting anything either; even spam... Anyone with tech acumen know? Does this happen on other sites? With the prevalence of hackers these days, I am led to wonder is my info. on this site secure? I'm a tad freaked out by this...should I be? What's the reason behind this? Is it nefarious action?

I've been traveling a lot lately haven't checked-in in a while. How's everything Hunky Dory. Did I miss anything? LOL.

Will they pitch-correct dav p 10???

cheeky lad

How come it looks better than Dead.net? www.jerrygarcia.comCome in folks, get it together and make Dead.net pretty like that one is... P.S. the old Dead.net was better (even the one with the planets!) P.S.S. Of course, on Dead.net there's more going on the way of content and community involvement, but still...

Anyone know how far 'off' RT V.1 N.1 (Fall '79) is? (purported to be) I'd like to try and pitch correct it myself to see how it 'should' sound.

I haven't seen any Kids apparel in several Months in the Store. Are they Planning to add more soon. I've got to keep my grand kids looking good. Maddog

Why is there no info. from Dead.net about the Hampton '79 release? It's only a week until the release date. I wonder if this a Rhino release, a Dead.net sponsored release, or a third party release? I'd have thought they would be hyping it up on the home page by now. For a 'listening party' check the DaP 9 thread, I posted five links of stuff David Lemieux has played over the years on the Taper's Section. If you are viewing the comments in newest first, it is post number 1508. If you are viewing them oldest first it is post number 922.

I am unable to start threads, so someone suggested this link to me to reply to an existing thread. My question is about Sam Hughes and John Williams. Those are the two guys in the 1977 Dead movie who were filmed while arguing about the movie itself. Sam Hughes was claiming that it was too commercial and exploited the Dead fans for money. John argued that it wasn't, and that in a few years Sam would watch the movie and like it. They ended up making a bet. Does anyone know what the bet was, whether or not it was paid off by the loser and/or what ever became of Sam Hughes and John Williams? I've searched the Internet but only found references to the segment in the film. In a way I would think many people would have followed up on this since it was such a noticeable part of the film, but I haven't had any luck. Thanks.

Good question. I know someone knows the answer to this one around here. I have a vague recollection we were just talking about this a few years ago...

To me it's kind of like Dead archaeology, like when they excavated Rancho Olompali and found all those records. It's an historical event that may have left behind historical artifacts of one sort or another. The one bit of history I have found, and I don't know accurate it is alludes to John Williams being a program director around that time. But as an historical event created to span some length of time it does have a beginning, a middle and an end, with a unique plot arc spanning that length. So if anyone has information about this, please post it. If the bet hasn't been paid off, it might even be worth getting the two together again, if for no other reason than historical closure.

You guys coulda made another $500.00 bucks offa me above and beyond all those winterland tickets I bought back in da day... but I forgot my password and you have this infuriaTING CIRCULAR THING THAT JUST KEEP S sending me around and around(hey.. there could be a song there!) However I just listened to Jerry solo on Hes gone and it filled me with such renewed admiration for the way he could express his emotions through melody... I always lived for those sublime moments when he just squeezed every bit of his heart out in every note and sent me on a roller coaster ride of emotion. I miss Jerry the musician cuz that all he wanted to be and he was damn good at it. A nice guy too.. I met him a coupla times in Cotati. Anyways, I wanted to buy that Wichita tape that you gave me a nibble of and WTF!! Its sold out...Cmon u guys,, u got one more to sell me .. for old times.. all those 2am dinners at IHOP after a dead show... the tuesday nights and thursdays were always the best.. I skipped the Saturday night s after a while cuz Jerry always got most inspired when he didnt feel obligated to. I hope Phil sees this.. I'd like to share with him this little pure nugget of musical wisdom that Jerry said to me when we talked.. I think he might appreciate it.

Does anyone know the YEAR of number 30; of the 30 Days of Dead? I can't seem to see it anywhere. Thanks.

I missed day 29 and 30 downloads over Thanksgiving weekend. Can anyone tell me how I can download them?I can't seem to find the proper link to them anywhere. Thanks a million!

try here:http://www.dead.net/30daysofdead/nov-29-2014 http://www.dead.net/30daysofdead/nov-30-2014

The links on the page are not working...the 'all mp3's' zip file will work, but individual files on that page will not work. That's why I posted the links to the individual days. I assumed these folks were having a similar problem. Check the links on: http://www.dead.net/30daysofdead - the individual links are faulty (do not point correctly)Hope this helps!

trying to find out about where to find photos and videos of the December 15th, 1986 show at Oakland and really don't know much about much but as an old timer (11 years old when the Warlocks unplugged my 5 pinball games at Magoo's to set up for their show in Mental Park)I wondered if I could find some evidence of me being at this show. Beautiful sunrise over the Gulf of Thailand a few hours ago and hope all you Mentalites are getting some much needed rain. I hope I'm doing this correctly if not maybe someone can dial me in as I am a total neophyte but this was one very special show for me and I would hope tio say everyone else who was there. peace and love Tom

Looking for link to the 4 Dead Crossword puzzles from this summer

Always thought I was in the Fan club! Was interested to see the "Fan club" tix release for the 50 reunion show.....I saw 28 shows from 89-95..and the 1978 Rupp Arena one....Is there something I need to do to be registered to buy tix on 2/12/15? Other than register here? Always got tix in a group mail order buy back in the day...or on Shakedown street....Matt

Got my airline tix to Chicago, Yay ! Would like some advice on purchasing tickets for the show. Mail in or online ? And at what site do I purchase on Feb.12th ? Thanks !

Hey Now!! Old Head here to see my LAST SHOW wanted to TAPE shows, but soldiers field website says no taping. Some various sites refer to capturing signal from main board, other concensus says this is not possible. So I was going to get a tascam DR-07mkII and try to stealth tape. GDTS Too has taper tickets, why would these be such hot tickets if nobody allows taping? What's an Old Deadhead supposed to do? 1/4" stereo jacks just don't work anymore, and car batteries are kind of hard to sneak in wedged inbetween my knees!?! Anybody, Please Advise!! Thank you, hope to see you at the shows!!
